Woodworking Show Returns

A Co Antrim company specialising in woodworking equipment is about to go 'on show'.

Following the success of its previous in-house exhibitions, M.J. Woodworking in Antrim has announced that this year's woodworking machinery show will again be held at their main showroom in Antrim.

A spokesman said: "This year's show - in late September - promises to be even bigger and better than any of our previous shows and, more importantly, it will provide all those attending with even bigger and better savings.

"Machinery, accessories and tooling will be on display, and alongside the products, there will be technical experts on hand to offer advice and guidance."

The firm was founded in 1986 by Martin McCallion and MJ Woodworking has grown considerably from this small family-run business to a large successful limited company.

The company initially managed from home, worked closely with Wadkin Machinery to supply woodworking machinery to a wide variety of customers in Ireland.

But with a growing reputation and experience it expanded to new premises in September 2005.

"Over the last four years, not only have we become a Limited company, but are now also the sole exclusive distributors for SCM Machinery in the North of Ireland," continued the spokesman.

"Since our move to new premises, MJ Woodworking LTD has held two very successful in-house exhibitions.

"This has resulted in an expansion of our customer base outside Ireland and into European and North American markets.

"We are now the fastest growing woodworking company within Ireland."
